Commitment to Personal Service - Se Habla Español

At our firm, we value providing one-on-one, personalized attention from caring personal injury lawyers with more than 50 years of combined proven experience. We only represent injured people — and never insurance companies.

Don’t let language be a barrier in getting the compensation you deserve. Our firm also has a bi-lingual paralegal for Spanish-speaking clients.

“Thank you for everything you have done. I know that on my own I would not have been able to secure a reasonable settlement. I am forever grateful that you took my case. I could not have asked for a better lawyer. I know it wasn’t a big money make, nor a slam dunk, but know that you have made a huge difference to me and my life.”

"Celeste is one of those few and very rare attorneys that are truly knowledgeable, trustworthy compassionate and fair. She has handled both my worker's compensation and social security claims in a manner that I have found rare in her field. Her expertise and professionalism bring credit to her office and the legal profession. It is with highest regard that I highly recommend Ms. Celeste Harris."

"Celeste did an outstanding job in supporting me and my husband through what could have been a very stressful situation (mediation.); as well as the events leading up to the mediation. She is professional yet approachable and demonstrates a wealth of knowledge and experience. I would recommend her to anyone in need of her services."

"Doug, we wanted to let you know that we are unable to express how much we appreciate your help with all of this. We know it is your job and everything but we feel like you go above and beyond a lot of other people out there in the same line of work."

We Handle the Full Range of Personal Injury Claims

Catastrophic injuries — For injured victims suffering a brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, third-degree burn or other major injury, compensation needs to be adequate to cover years of medical care, rehabilitation and lost earnings. Our Winston-Salem personal injury attorneys often work with life-care planners and other experts to determine the future cost of medical care, home rehabilitation and other needs. We stand by you to recover damages including pain and suffering and lost quality of life.

Fatal accidents — We pursue wrongful death lawsuits resulting from a negligent incident at the hand of another party. Our fatal accident lawyers work with survivors to make a case for the loss of companionship, love, support and services, as well as the pain and suffering of the victim prior to death.

Serious dog bites — When animal attacks result in facial injuries, severe bite wounds or nerve damage, we can sue for damages to cover disfigurement, reconstructive surgery and medical care, disability and the emotional trauma of young victims.

Have You Been Injured in a Car Wreck?

It can be difficult to think clearly after you've been injured in a car wreck. But if you focus on following a few simple steps, you can ensure that you don't jeopardize your opportunity to pursue a personal injury case.

How Were You Injured?

Our attorneys have the experience, resources and tenacity to protect your rights and obtain the compensation you deserve. We’ve represented hundreds of injured clients in cases, including:

Motor vehicle collisions are not accidents — a driver did something wrong. The “accident” that injured you may have been caused by inattention, carelessness, distracted driving, drunk driving or another cause. We can help you secure rightful compensation after a car crash, tractor trailer collision or motorcycle accident. Read our guide on what to do after a car accident.

Workplace injuries and diseases — Workplace injury or illness claims can arise from construction accidents, repetitive stress and many other ways. We can help you seek full and fair workers’ compensation benefits and assist with return-to-work issues, if you’re able to return to work after your injury.
